Our culinary diary
Ever since starting this blog, we've done our year end roundup of our favorite recipes and other statistics (see: Adieu 2022, So Long 2021!, Good Riddance 2020, Goodbye 2019!, Recap of 2018, and Looking Back on 2017) Kinda hard this year with the very few posts we've made, but I hate to break tradition... 2023 Year...

For the 3 people who read this with any sort of regularity. We started this blog as a creative outlet while in graduate school. The goal was never to become some famous bloggers with a monetized site or a big following, but to keep track of the dishes we made that we wanted to remember.... Continue Reading →
Seems like we traveled more than we cooked this year... A few food-related shots from our trip to Istanbul! Drinking tea and coffee all day, everyday, like the Turks: Market in Beşiktaş: Grocery store snack dinner, Turkish style + our amazing view of the Bosphorus: I love mısır - an ear of corn! - you...

Finally! Our first international trip since COVID started! We were actually supposed to leave the country, taking the then-baby on her first international trip to meet Selim's family in Turkey, right as the whole world shut down. We were supposed to leave the US on Sunday, March 22nd. We spent most of the weeks leading... Continue Reading →
When we first started this blog, we found and gathered many prospective recipes on Pinterest. Now, we save so many delicious prospects, like this one, on Instagram. Who knows where we'll be finding inspiration in the next five years!? This recipe for mazesoba caught our eye there, and we're glad it did! Thanks Genius Eatss!... Continue Reading →
It's hard to find words to describe the devastation of last week's earthquake in Turkey and Syria. It's a strange feeling... just going about your normal day, knowing so many cannot, but as just an average person, being unable to really do anything about it. Pretty much every time I feel this feeling, I channel... Continue Reading →
We've now made this twice in two weeks. It's a pretty easy addition to the weeknight rotation, despite seeming to me to be a little fancier at first glace. It gives off nice Thai-ish flavors and other than the lemongrass, uses ingredients we generally have on hand. Ginger-Garlic Meatballs in Coconut Broth (Adapted from Smitten... Continue Reading →
Last year our attempt at a Chinese feast for Lunar New Year was a little bit of a flop. I made Lion's Head Meatballs and just didn't get it quite right. The meatballs were good, but the broth was very bland and the cabbage was a little unwieldy. We'll try again one day, but this... Continue Reading →
Literally the easiest dessert ever, with a cinnamon twist. Cinnamon Rice Krispie Treats Ingredients: 3 tbsp butter 1 tsp cinnamon 4 cups mini marshmallows 4 cups Rice Krispies 2 cups Cinnamon Toast Crunch Minis Instructions: Melt butter over low heat in a large pot. Add the cinnamon, stir, and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in... Continue Reading →
Well. 2022 wins the superlative of the year we shared BY FAR the fewest blog posts. The 2021 roundup is still on the front page of the blog... Whoops! In addition to being very busy with the rest of our lives, we've also become a lot more picky with the recipe we save and share... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
